Requirements

The scope of the requirement includes:

  • Provide all labor, materials, and equipment necessary to dredge and dispose of sediment from the berthing and approach areas to the east of the pier at U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Sector Columbia River (formerly MSU Portland), located in Portland, Oregon.
  • Dredge up to 600 cubic yards (cy) of sediment by mechanical or hydraulic means to the indicated design depth of -10.0 feet Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) CRD plus 2 feet over depth allowance. Only the eastern side of the permitted ‘2024 dredge area’ shall be dredged (see section 35 20 23 and attached documents for more information). The dredge prism will need to be adjusted to ensure that riprap is not affected by dredging and that dredging can accomplish a -12 foot depth to reduce environmental compliance issues regarding unconfined aquatic exposure of unsuitable sediment (from mudline to -12 ft CRD).
  • Dredged material shall be disposed of at Hillsboro Landfill located in Hillsboro, Oregon.
  • Dredging and disposal must be conducted between July 1, 2025, and October 31, 2025.
  • Barge operations must minimize impacts to local fishing vessels during transit from the dredge site to the disposal site.
  • The Contractor is responsible for complying with all permit conditions from the Army Corps of Engineers, U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Conditions for use of disposal sites, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) consultation requirements, and conditions required by the State of Oregon Water Quality Control Board and Oregon Coastal Commission.
